I just got through making a intake for my 5.3. I have about $70 in it.. $50 for the k&n and $20 for the parts at lowes. It has a 4in to 3in rubber hose from the TB to the 90 deg abs pipe, about 1 feet of black abs pipe, a 3in to 3in rubber hose from the pipe to the MAF. Gonna track test it this weekend

 

 

It makes it a little easier with out that big *** fan in the way.

 

Looks good Good to see you like keeping that engine clean. Runs better that way.

 

do you have anything to help prop it up?... i cant see from the pics... i figure there would be alot of bouncing and probability of loosening if not.

 

Looks good! Nice and clean. Here's mine.

 

Looks good guys. I've been thinking about trying to come up with something for my truck. I want to hear more turbo noise from my engine.

 

onyx_silverado I used zip ties to hold everything in place. JSmith yours looks good! I'm gonna fab up a heat shield too later on....and get the rad. hose away from the pipe. Thanks for the positive comments...Heck I just didn't see paying $250+ for an intake when you can make one for so much cheaper!

 

hey jsmith is that a 45 or 30 small piece. thanks.

 

45 if I remember correctly.
